Here is chapter three, it's a bit longer. I am so lazy so I surpirsed myself by making this one detailed. I hope you like it. Any questions you have about Naruto Shippuden please e-mail them to me. Or if there is anything you would like to see in the stories then e-mail that too. Enjoy.

The team had to recover from their shock so they could deal with their wounds. Kakashi had been hit with the black haired man's weapon when he tryed to follow tham through the porthole, "That guy's aim was pretty lousy huh," said Kiba as he went to examine Kakashi's shoulder. They had no medical ninjas with them so they had to make do.

"No," said Kakshi, "his aim was perfect, he could have hit my heart if he wanted to but I had have a feeling they didn't take the scroll to make trouble I think they were hired."

"Hiered thieves," asked Naruto, "What kind of hiered thieves can fight like that? What exactly were those silver things he made. Sensi my clones and your dragon just dissappeared into them."

"It was a porthole into another place in the world," said Neji, "I could sense a disturbance in the atmosphere and I felt a difference when my hand passed through it."

"You are sure they are not ninjas?" asked Kakashi.

"I'm sure, their chakra has never been used."

"Anyway their intention wasn't to kill us, I saw with my sharingan, his eyes were perfectly in line with his weapon."

"Forget the weapon," said the rambunciuous Lee, "we have to get after them."

"Lee we don't even where they went or how they even got away," said Kakashi.

"Kakashi Sensi's right neither Acamaru or I smell them anymore."

They bandaged up their wounds as best they could and returned to report to Lady Tsunade. She was horrifyed by what she was told.

"I saw what happened as the protholes were made, they weren't coming from his body like our jutsu does, he was using his body to manipulate them but they came from the atmosphere, not from within him but through his influence."

"So this black haired man can manipulate the atmosphere?" asked Lady Tsunade biting her nail.

"Yes what he created were doors into another part of the world."

"Where?"

"Well," said Kakashi taking over from Neji, "during the battle we used shadow clones and a water dragon which all got sucked into one of his silver circles, actually the silver circles formed around the shadow clones and they dissappeared. A circle was created to block my dragons path to the blond man and it just flew directly into it and dissappeared but when we returned to the village we found Naruto's undispelled shadow clones and a wet ground where my dragon must have landed so i'm guessing this man can transport things anywhere."

When they were finished they were told to go and rescan the area in which the battle took place to see if they could find anything new. The just had to get that scroll back.

**********************

Back in the earth dimension Cal had dropped them outside the office where they were ment to deliver the scroll to the warlock Raphiel. Cal as usual was grumbling.

"One year of you breathing down my neck for that."

Niko had the scroll tucked under his arm, "I know it wasn't much of a challange for your expertise little brother but it's money."

"Yeh I guess."

Cal wasn't really interested in money like most people are but then again Cal isn't most people. Cal was also a lazy person, as long as they had money that allowed him eat and have shelter and stay warm he didn't care. They made quite a bit of money, actually quite a lot. They now lived in the same building as Niko's vampire girlfriend Promise and she had a taste for the highlife. Niko went back and forth to and from apartments sometimes staying with her sometimes staying with Cal, Cal often said sarcastic things like, "If you can't decide then buy an apartment in the middle," but then followed it with a serious, "seriously Niko I know you want to live with Promise so just suck it up and ask her, I'll survive living four doors away form you. If I can cope living with you my whole life I can cope with you as a neighbour."

That normally earned him a slap about the head but he was grateful Cal didn't like to dwell on a tense subject.

Despite the money they were making from their clients Cal still worked at the peris bar as Peri's were the grapevine of the supernatural world, if they wanted to find clients that is where they needed to go. The owner Ishiah was a medium tempered Peri (a winged creature, what you would expect an angel to look like) but they had a worse temper than Cal. He had an on off relationship with the ancient puck Robin Goodfellow who was as old as humanity perhaps even older but neither would call it a relationship and neither Niko nor Cal would touch the issue with a ten foot pole (although Cal did enjoy teasing the both of them about it). I guess you could say that no supernatural relationships were stable ones esspecially intermingling ones which was something both brothers new about all to well.

Anyway Cal and Niko entered the office and found the warlock sitting at the desk in the exact same position he was in when they saw him last year.

"Wonderful," he said quite coolely when he saw the scroll.

"Wait a moment," he said as he went to get the scroll from Niko and go into the next room.

"No," said Niko.

"What," said Raphiel.

"Payment first," Cal murmered.

"Very well," he said grabbing a brief case and handing it to Niko as he took the scroll and sat down at his desk to open the scroll as Niko counted the money and Cal tapped his foot on the ground until Niko lost patience and slammed his foot down and held it there with his own. The brothers were just about to leave as he said, "Wait, would you like a raise."

Cal gave a huff but Niko said, "Go on."

"There's a particual jutsu called the sharingan, it's not in here. I will pay you another $75,000."

"I'm listening."

"Was there anyone in the dimension you saw who had red eyes. The partern could be any of these," he said producing a piece of paper that had eyes with strange symbols on them.

"Yes," said Niko, "the man I fought had an eye like this." He pointed to one of the eyes.

"Just one?"

"Yes but he kept it covered up until he was beginning to feel challanged."

"That's odd he must have stolen it."

"What?"

"The sharingan is genetic and can only be passed down through a blood line and it's both they have. The fact that he only had one and he couldn't deactivate it tells me he stole it from a member of the clan that carries it. They call it the Uchiha clan, I want you to find out the secret of that jutsu."

They left the office having accepted the mission.

"We'll go back to our place and rest for the night, we'll leave in the morning after you've recovered."

*******************************

The shinobi were in the place they battled the strange men looking around for anything that would tell them where they were but even though their scent still lingered slightly there was nothing else, "Should we leave?" suggested Kakashi, "and inform ANBU black ops of the situation." (ANBU were high ranked shinobi who delt with critical situations like this) but just as they were about to leave Neji sensed a disturbance in the atmosphere.

"They're coming," he said just as a familiar circle appeared in the air and the black haired man jumped out followed by the blond haired man. Soon after him an unfamiliar man jumped through. He was also a handsom man with dark brown hair and deep green eyes. He jumped out of the porthole and smiled as the blond man restrained his kinsman from hitting him. Once the younger had calmed down the elder punched him himself and said, "What did we tell you , you couldn't come," his voice was even and scarey, he didn't even raise his voice he just stared at the other man who was now picking him up off the ground himself up off the ground and pointing at the stunned ninja's, "We are jumping right into the enemy's hands and you decide to have a go at me for trying to help"

Niko wasn't fooled, he knew Robin and he knew he was just looking for fun (fun of all different kinds but we'll get to that later) but instead of continuing with his condeming stare he turned to his kinsman who said, "I suppose they learned from the fight yesterday."

The shinobi went into fighting stance, "Wrong again little brother."

Niko and Robin drew their swords and fought while Cal stood there and shot (what looked like) blindly but he hit his target every time so Kakshi knew he was taking aim. Robin was a another shock to the ninjas his skill surpassed the blond if that was even possible. The battle was over quicker than the last one and the three managed to tie the team to a tree while they tied Kakashi sensi's hands behind his back and sat him on a fallen log. The blond man had drawn a small knife and walked forward when his brother stepped in front of him saying in their only lanuage to that only Kakashi thanks to his sharingan understood, "Niko let me."

"What?" he said surprised.

"I have a feeling."

The man whose name Kakashi now knew was Niko sighed and handed the knife to the man whom he reffered to as his little brother.

The black haired man whose name Kakashi didn't know yet picked up a fallen branch, a thick bulky one. He made one of his silver circles and pushed the branch through it the end appeared next to Kakashi the man pulled it out and pushed it in again so he knew it was the same branch. He then closed the circle with a snap that made even his dark haired comerade jump a little and the thick branch snapped as if it was merley a twig. The part that went threw the porthole fell into Kakashi's lap and the black haired man dropped the other on the ground without taking his unblinking stone grey eyes off Kakashi. He walked forward, flipped the knife and caught it blind (Niko insisted he learn how to do that. He always needed to know where his weapon was esspecially if his eyes were needed elsewhere). Kakashi wasn't one to be intimidated easy so he held his own. Although there was something familiar in this mans eyes he had seen that look before.....in Naruto. He glanced over at his student who was looking angry as he fought the ropes until the blond man put a sword gentally but threateningly to the boy's throat.

Naruto looked over at his sensi, the former was clearly worried but a gental smile from Kakashi calmed him down but if these guys layed a hand on his sensi he would kill them. Kakashi now looked worried, not because of these captors but because if Naruto got angry he could unleash the Kyubi (all in good time) sealed within him.

"Cal, why don't you send these brats back home?" suggested the dark brown haired man.

"We need them."

"What for?"

"Insentive."

Cal on the word insentive worked dissappeared in a flash of light and reappeared next to Kakashi holding the knife dangerously close to his sharingan eye but holding it very steady.

"Now we need to know the secret of this eye and if we don't we'll have to do some tests."

"I'm not scared of you."

"Really, are you scared of this," Cal made a silver circle over Neji's head and lowered it onto him so that his head dissappeared and at the same time reappeared next to Cal. Kakashi knew he was threating to cut it of like he did with the branch, "no," said Cal, "how about this?" he did the same thing to Naruto and Kakashi still remained silent.

"Don't tell these bastards anything Sensi."

Kakashi saw Cal begin to slowly close the gate around his student's head. Ever since his childhood team mate Obito died in an insident he considered to be his fault he swore never to let his comerades die and as he thought of the prospect of the lively kind-hearted and strong Naruto who was so full of determination and more potential than he had seen in anyone something in him just crumbled, "Stop, stop please. I swear I don't know. I'm not a member of the Uchiha clan so I don't know the secret."

The man whose name was Cal contemplated Kakashi, "You didn't steal it did you?"

"I don't think that's something you need to know ."

"Ohh but I do," said Cal cutting Kakashi's ropes, "this changes everything."

After releasing Kakashi and Naruto (from the circle) he tossed him the knife he had used to threaten him, "you can all go."

This stunned everyone except Niko. Niko didn't know what Cal was up to but he trusted him and cut the ropes holding the teenage shinobi to the tree.

Kakashi was confused and said, "but I've got your knife."

"It's actually your knife, I swiped it out of your leg pocket and gave it to my brother."

All those years of watching Goodfellows con man ways did come in useful every now and then.

"But now I have the weapon."

"So stab me or get out of here."

Kakashi didn't know what to make of this man or this turn of events but he had to remember his duty.

"I can't let you leave until we get that scroll."

"You're just going to keep knawing at that bone aren't you."

"You have no idea the importance of that scroll," shouted Naruto, "how much damage it could cause if it fell into the wrong hands, you have no idea of the horrors it will cause or the monster it will let loose..."

On that Kakashi sensi decided he was saying much and said, "That's enough, Naruto."

"Monster, kid?"asked Cal.

"That's right, if anyone knows what will happen if someone used that scroll it is me."

Cal saw something familiar in the eyes of this boy regret, sorrow, lonliess, hurt, fear (not just fear) fear of self and even guilt.

Cal's mouth moved of it's own accord and said, "Take us to you village leader. There are a few words I would like to have with them."

Even Niko was surprised this time (and that didn't happen often) what was Cal up to.

Robin was more vocal, "Cal what in Zeus' name are you doing?"

Both Kakashi and Cal ignored him, "So you're saying that if we take you back you will return the scroll to us."

"I'm not making any promises but we can talk."

"How do we know you're not planning something once you enter our village?"

"Think about it, it we wanted to do something to your village we wouldn't need you to take us there."

A silver light appeared around Goodfellow's sword and it appeared in Cal's. He handed it to Kakashi then took his gun out of the small of his back and threw it to Kiba.

"You expect us to trust you after you just threatened to cut out Kakashi sensi's eye," shouted Kiba.

Cal knelt and removed an impressive looking knife from his ankle and said, "ohh don't be ridiculous like I was ever going to take his eye. Don't any of you recodnise bullshit when you see it?"

He took an expensive but equally lethal looking knife out from his waist and extended them towards Naruto and said kindly (which wasn't habitual to him), "take them."

**********************************

They walked back to the village in silence. He had unarmed himself and Goodfellow for the piece of mind of the ninjas but he knew he couldn't unarm Niko without loosing an arm himself so Niko still had his katana.

When they got back they entered Tsunade's office with the three strange faces, she asked, "You caught the thieves?"

"No Tsunade-sama, they surrendered themselves."

"He, he surrendered us," said Goodfellow pointing repeatedly at Cal while Cal ignored him and kept firm, imploring eye contact with Niko. Niko remained silent yet again. He would demand an explaination off Cal later but this Kakashi guy obviously didn't know the secret to the sharingan, maybe this leader did but he doubted that is why Cal wanted to speak to her.

Neji stepped in with his report, "From what I can deduce they are not of our world, they can only be here through very un-natural means. I'm not altogether sure that this one," he said pointing to Cal, "is even human."

"Careful," said a steely voice and everyone turned to see Niko with a half draw Katana.

"That's enough Neji," said Naruto rather hardly, he thanks to that Kyubi (demon fox spirit) that was sealed in him as a baby, had been called a demon and treated as less than human enough to not want anyone else to go through that, enemy or not. Neji didn't shrink back often (he was a very proud person) but a while ago he had learned of Naruto being a Jinchuriki (power of human sacrafice) which is what the hosts of tailed demons were called (the fox is one of nine and is the one with nine tails) so he knew being called less than human was a sensitive subject for Naruto. Also after managing to beat Neji in the chunin exams had earned him Neji's respect so Neji had the decency to bow his head in dignifyed sorrow. Kiba was still angry so he didn't pick up on Naruto's upset.

"No he has a point," said Cal mostly to Niko.

"You don't even smell human," said Kiba.

"Really well neither do you. You smell like a cross between human and dog and that's not just from dog contact either is it."

Kiba growled at this insolent comment, "No don't take it the wrong way," said Goodfellow, "that's not an unpleasant smell for him."

It was Cal's turn to growl, Robin was reffering to Cal's werewolf girlfriend Delilah.

"How do you know what I smell like?" demanded Kiba.

"You're not the only one around here with a good nose," a supirior sense of smell was another thing Cal had inherited from his Auphe side. Years ago he had only been as good as your average dog but he had developed and became equal to a bloodhound. In this world maybe even a ninja hound. Kakashi thought, 'That is how they knew we were coming in the first fight, he must have smelt us.'

"So you're not human," said Kiba harshly.

"Stop it Kiba," exclaimed Naruto just before Niko came in.

"I told you to be careful," he said further drawing his Katana.

"Nik please."

Niko looked over at his much loved little brother who stopped being little so long ago. His head was bowed and his voice was serious. This was just about this gig there was something else getting to Cal, he had never seen him like this in his life. What was it about this world that had gotten to his brother. If this meeting wasn't up in ten minuets then he'd drag Cal out and make him talk.

Please review, I love to know what you think and what you would like in the story. Next time Cal and Niko have a new mission and Cal and Naruto find they have something in common.
